Policy for Development of the MOD Policy for Development of the MOD
The central priorities for the MOD is to develop the management plan and strategy to implement and monitor the policy presented in the defence policy and to provide the equipment and resources necessary to its implementation. The structure and organisation of MOD will be kept under review.
In addition, the MOD will actively participate in defence and security aspects, including contribution to Government crisis management and contingency planning (including co-operation with other interested ministries).
Apart from these central issues, specific management priorities are also identifiable. These include the determination of force levels, equipment requirements, training, recruitment and deployment policy; career planning, the refinement and review of the concept of operations; the effective management of resource allocation and distribution; and the articulation of the defence programme into a detailed long term financial plan (a long term costing).
An overriding policy objective will be to align accountability with responsibility and authority as closely as is practicable. The MOD is prepared to share its experiences with other countries whose Defence Forces are developing or restructuring.

So many people have taken an interest in getting good quality webcams so that they can see their friends and family as if they were right next to them. The Rosewill Elegant Webcam is definitely one of those products that can help you video chat with great quality and ease of use. Let's take a look and see what comes inside the box of this product.

|Cheering Charm
Makes one happy
- "the Cheering Charms had left them with a feeling of great contentment."
- —The after-effects of the spell.[src]
A Cheering Charm is a spell which makes another person happy. When the spell is overdone, it can cause the victim to be overcome with fits of hysterical laughter. It was invented by Felix Summerbee during the 1400s.
Professor Flitwick taught Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and the rest of the class the charm in Harry's third year. Hermione Granger missed it due to distractions by Draco Malfoy's bullying. This distressed her greatly, as she suspected Professor Flitwick might test them on the charm in their end-of-year exams, and she was right. Later that year, the third year students, including Harry, Ron and Hermione were indeed tested on the Cheering Charm during their exams. Harry very much overdid his and Ron (his partner) had to be led away to a quiet room.

Last year we reported on a new way of gathering power from wastewater, one that combined power generating from salinity gradients between salt and freshwater, and that produced by waste-eating bacteria, to create a self-sustaining power supply. But what happens if you're somewhere inland, where there isn't any saltwater to be had?
The same group of researchers have now published a way of getting around that hurdle, too. Rather than rely on saltwater, they use ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) solution, which has the ability to be constantly regenerated with low levels of heat, such as those that are produced naturally when wastewater is treated. With this technique, electricity is directly generated by the bacteria and voltages are increased by the salinity gradient.
The salinated water and the wastewater never actually meet, and the bacteria eats through some of the organic material in the sewage, rendering it cleaner. Yeah, it needs further processing, but every kilogram of organic material that goes through produces 0.94 kilowatt-hours of energy, and 35% of the organic matter is removed. There's even evidence to say that the material that remains in the water can be used to generate methane for further use.
A sewage treatment process that can work anywhere, cleans the water, and can generate power. Where do we sign up?

(I'm sorry all the pictures are left justified.) So this past weekend I traveled up to Oakland to complete my back to back marathon quest. I was greeted with rainy weather when I landed in Oakland, but for the most part it was fairly dry when Tara and I headed to the Expo on Saturday. We grabbed our bags and shirts and headed back out to Walnut Creek. We ate a TON of stuff on Saturday and it was amazing. I have never eaten so much food in my life. From breakfast burritos, to cookies, to a ton of candy. Yum. We kept everything pretty low key on Saturday and just hung out. In bed by 10:30 for our early morning rise the next day, I was feeling pretty normal and was set to go. We laid out all our clothes and before I knew it my alarm was going off.
We made it to Oakland in really good time and sat in the car for an hour before walking out to the start line. It was quite a change to be nice and toasty before the race, and we also had much more time to 'sleep' in compared to last weekend. We finally got everything situated and left the car around 7:00 for the race that was starting at 7:30. We hit up the portapotties and walked over to the start. That's the nice thing about smaller races, there are way less lines, no extreme crowding and people pushing and just overall less lunatics. We found some friends at the start and stayed by them before the gun went off.
I seriously barely remember these photos being taken. I don't know why I was so excited at that point, but I think I was pretty much dreading that gun going off and when I'm nervous I get really excited and weird. Like on a plane, I'm so that girl who just talks to you because I actually hate flying. So we chit chatted and both T and I were feeling very good. Well as good as you can when you are at the start line of a marathon. Before we knew it the gun was off and T and I both were ready to get this one done. I started my jams…
We were about 1/4 of the mile in when the same song came on my headphones. I thought oh silly little thing, you are playing the same song. I go to the next song and it starts over. I go to the next song and it starts over. I start fiddling with it to try to find new folders. Nope, Kanye Stronger starts over and over and over. THIS IDIOT UPDATED THE WRONG PLAY LIST ON HER WALKMAN AND HAS ONE SONG. I about gave up right then. Seriously, I had just made a new play list with SO many awesome songs on it and WHAM. I was stuck with ONE. I told T and she immediately took out her music too. I seriously can't ask for a better friend. We chugged along and were feeling pretty good. The hills were a little relentless but we really were doing awesome and both felt fine. The miles kept ticking by. There was some nice greenery but you run next to a freeway for some of it and through some town areas. It was really cool to see so many police officers not only patrolling the course, but also cheering for the runners and becoming a part of the "crowd" that was out there. I am a firm believer in that if you are out on a course, waiting for someone, whoever that person may be, you might as well cheer the whole time you are out there. It's sad to run by people with this dead look in their eyes and they just stare at you! Here's some pictures of the two of us going through the hills of Oakland.
Anyways, so back to the hills. Pretty killer, but I knew that they 'ended' around mile 10 and we had a huge downhill. Now when I say huge downhill, I didn't know it was a quad thrashing, knee murdering, foot annihilating downhill. It was REALLY steep. I am all for downhill, but I thought I would face plant on this bad boy and roll my way down. It was pretty painful and went on for a mile. At that point I think I remember telling Tara, for the love, can it just be FLAT! I felt like we were going up and down and up and down and down, down, DOWN! I think I would be scared to go down that path in a car it was so steep. Thankfully my body didn't bottom out. After that we were feeling pretty good and the miles kept ticking away
I was trying to get the steep hill but it doesn't look like it in this photo, but I did manage to look cross eyed!
This was our experience after the steep hills. I was ready to end the race at about the half way point. Those hills were pretty hard to travel down, but after that, we also knew we were half way done so that was positive. We were determined to keep trucking forward. Around mile 15, T started having major foot issues. She is by far the toughest girl I know and so I know when she is hurting, she is REALLY hurting. What she puts up with I would be on the ground crying 20 miles before she would even say anything about the pain. We started doing a little bit of a walk break after she had to untie her shoe because her foot was swollen. We were both feeling okay up until around mile 18. T kept telling me to go ahead, but there was no way I was leaving her after she pulled me through LA last weekend. We decided to do t his together and what's being miserable by yourself, when you can be miserable together? There were moments when I knew she was in so much pain she was going to cry. I could just feel it. It's the worst when that happens, because you don't even know what to say, but I knew if she cried, I would have cried too, so we kept pushing forward and encouraging each other.
We went through some really strange areas of town. I remember running through a pretty bad part of town, which was interesting. There were not too many people out supporting but there but the people who were so thankful for us running in Oakland were really sweet and the people out were awesome to see. It was still awesome to see so many cops not only directing traffic, but cheering for us. There was one tunnel that I remember that a bunch of Oakland Raider fans were underneath it and though it was crazy to see a bunch of grown men as gorillas and pirates, it was cool that they came out to support us.
This was the area around the lake that was a little flooded. Tara and I were so worried about falling into the lake! So we walked around on the small area that wasn't flooded and muddy. I didn't know they got a picture of this and it's so awkward. I was struggling to not fall into the duck pond!
Finally we hit mile 20 and we were both just worn out at this point. Our muscles were not really hurting but both our joints and Tara's foot was hurting a lot. No jams to pump us up was a little bit disheartening as well. At this point, we both knew we were so close to the finish, but those last 6 miles never get any easier. We both struggled and decided that we would walk the first .25 of every mile for the last 6 miles and then run the last .75 of the mile. It was nice to see the mile markers and know that we would get to walk. Around mile 22, I really started to struggle and it was my turn to hold back the tears for some reason. I just couldn't pull it together and everything was just wearing on me and I was really struggling not to cry. When I cry and run I almost can't breath, so that is not good. T saw I was struggling and kept encouraging me to keep going and that we were almost done.
FINALLY we saw the mile marker 25. The last few miles were around a lake, which was pretty nice, but the camber was a little hard on the ankles, especially at those high miles. There was a little bit of a trail in this section and it was a little rough being so late in the race. When we saw that mile marker though, the end was in sight and I knew we were going to make it. I never though that it would be so long and torturous but we were finally in the final stretch of our maniac march.
The last mile was a little uphill and we started running about half way away from mile 26. I was struggling but T kept telling me that we were almost there and I couldn't believe it when we turned the corner and saw the finish line up ahead! I couldn't believe it. I never thought that I would do two marathons in a month none the less in two weeks! I struggled a lot but I feel like I am a much stronger person because of it. I feel like I can conquer anything! It sounds so cliche but it's true. Though our time still wasn't what I thought it would be, it was 1o minutes faster than my LA marathon time the weekend before, and if we would have raced it, I know we would have come in around 4:45, no problem.
The tigers are extinct! Not only did I find out a lot about myself on the double journey, but I found that I have an awesome friend in Tara, which I knew from before but now I know we are more bonded than ever before. We have been maniac sisters for a year but this really strengthened our relationship and I know that she will always be there for me no matter what. It was amazing to spend that much time with her and I truly value our friendship and maniachood! We both started it together and finished together and pulled each other through.
Though looking back I feel like an idiot because it's totally unnecessary to do what we did, but at the same time, I'm glad we did it together and that neither of us let the other one quit. Poor T has a serious bad sprain in her ankle and is laid up in a boot for two and a half weeks! :( What a trip and a memory, one for the books for sure!
Last night I hit the gym and felt awesome, so awesome that I went out and felt great on a 4 mile run and it was amazing. I'm pretty sure my legs are so happy that I'm doing some shorter distances for a while. All my miles were sub-9 minute miles and my legs felt so fresh and happy. Take that marathons! No mas!

World, wake up! Obama made the first step!
Congratulation Obama!
As I had written two years ago (2008) on my blog Attitude-Will be revolution:
"The world crisis is a system crisis and it means the twilight of capitalism. The new era is the communionism and this means the common house, the common market and the common laws.
The COMMUNIONISM is not COMMUNISM!
The capitalism is blocked and the world needs a jump, a revolution!"
Please see my presentation on youtube "The world crisis, the twilight of capitalism and the new era":
part I
and part II
In the second movie part, I presented the two ways for revolution:
The first way is the velvet revolution (an office revolution or government revolution) and means the change of the states and the change of the world system! The United States made this first step to the new era, the Reform of American Health Care System.
The second way is the social revolution!
Attention to Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, China, India!
I consider that the one of the most important event in 2009 was
"The US reform, begun by President Obama with the US
Take a look at the United States!
This was the first step in the velvet revolution! It cost 900 billion usd!
My estimate total cost of crisis is more to 40000 billion usd.
The next step is the financial-bank system reform!
Congratulation Obama and good luck!
We are here, in Romania, out of the world!!!

I use my Xara primarly for producing web graphics, so I use pixels as the unit. When scaling objects ½ pixels occur, which does not make sence.
Have I missed some setting somewhere which will prevent scaling to non-integer pixels?
Another thing - it would be great if Xara could come by default with a unit "px" instead of "pix". px is generally used on the web as a unit to representate pixels - so when I try to copy and paste a - say - length from an object from Xara to an CSS document in my HTML editor I get an error, cause "pix" is not a known unit.
Ofcause I (and others who use Xara Xtreme together with other web tools) could define a new custom unit "px" - but if it is "px" which generally is used and not "pix", why not change it? Or perhaps add "px" to the standard units?

So I have a cook who's worked for me for about 6 years. His performance has been noticeably declining over the last couple years. He's been hitting the bottle heavy and his wife gave him the boot. After a busy Saturday night where he got his ass kicked he quit. He called me the next day and begged for his job back. "I have to work right now or I'll go crazy!" So I gave him another shot. He still drags but we pamper him in hopes he comes out of his funk. We try and support each other.
He quit at 2:00 Valentine's Day afternoon. Well, at least he called?

Americans are "highly anxious" about their retirement prospects, a report from the National Institute on Retirement Security found. Eighty-five percent of respondents said they were worried about their retirement in spite of a more stable market, declining unemployment and increased consumer confidence over all.
The report found almost the same percentage of respondents think the average worker can't save enough on his or her own to guarantee a secure retirement. Three-quarters say the stock market makes it "impossible for the average American" to estimate how much they'll be able to save for retirement.
Furthermore, 82% of respondents say all Americans should have access to a pension plan, not just state and local employees, up from 68% who agreed in 2011. The report found similar levels of support for universal access to pensions between private and public workers, at 81% and 88%, respectively.
Investors appear to be getting increasingly pessimistic, too. Overall, 82% of respondents said it was getting harder to prepare for retirement, and 60% said it was getting much harder. The biggest factor, though, is inflation cutting into middle-class salaries. Fewer pensions rated as the second biggest factor, followed by investors' increased life expectancy.
NIRS noted that while a higher Social Security retirement age was rated a major factor in the increased difficulty of planning for retirement by just under half of respondents, it's likely to be a bigger factor among smaller segments of the population like women, single people and those with lower incomes.
The report found both public and private sector employees look on pensions favorably, and nearly 60% of respondents who currently have a pension said it was a factor in their decision to work for their employer. When asked to choose between an employer that offered a pension and one that offered a 401(k), 45% said they were more likely to choose the employer that offered a pension, compared with 27% who would choose the 401(k).
The report found 87% of respondents don't think political leaders appreciate how difficult it is to save for retirement, and 86% think they need to make retirement a higher priority. Those percentages are both up from 2011, when 79% of respondents told NIRS that politicians didn't appreciate the difficulties of saving, and 81% said they needed to make retirement a priority.
Millennials, despite being farthest from retirement, are highly inclined to agree. The report found 94% think political leaders don't understand the struggle to save and 90% think it should be made a higher priority. Regarding pensions in general, nearly 90% of millennials, few of whom are likely to have access to a pension, say they play a role in increasing retirement security.
Among the reforms supported by respondents to the NIRS survey is a scheme similar to the USA Retirement Funds proposed by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. NIRS asked whether a privately run, portable pension plan available to all Americans was a good idea; 75% of respondents said yes and 81% said they would participate in such a plan.
While a majority of respondents agreed access to pensions should be expanded, most felt the average monthly benefit for public workers of about $2,150 was fair. Nearly a third, though, said it was too low.

Map Scale
Not really a rule question, so I put it here. While Temptation made a decent map, she neglected to put a scale on it! As a result, I'm not quite sure how big the empire really is... so, as an example, how distant is Viljatown from, say, Prisma?
Re: Map Scale
This was kind of intentional. Everglow is an adaptive kind of place. You should ask your GM, not me. They wield the ultimate power on just how far A is from B.

The word "lemon" feels all wrong.
It might work for a car or some other inanimate object that comes with a warranty, but when applied to a cheerful and innocent puppy, it makes me wince. Yet, every week, another fourlegged heartbreaker hobbles or bunnyhops into my examination room and I'm forced to confront this distressing label.
It turns out that some 20 states have so-called "lemon laws" for purebreds — laws that give people the right to a refund, a replacement or some level of reimbursement for treatment of a puppy with a health problem — but in my experience, they're moot. Whether the dog's a purebred (who's covered) or a mix (who's not), the sentiment is pretty much universal: "It's too late. She's part of the family. There's no way I'm giving up on her."
I know Bronwyn and Keith — an attractive professional couple and the proud owners of a Mastiff mix they'd named Ben — would agree. And yes, realize I've used the word "owner," which reflects convention, not my philosophy. To be honest, I rather like the approach one of my clients takes; she considers her Puggles to be her "roommates," a label that nicely captures the canine spirit of independence and defines a relationship in which individuals enjoy sharing their lives and space for whatever time they have together.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
But I digress. On this, their first visit, it was just Bronwyn and Ben.
"Keith isn't here," said Bronwyn. "He just couldn't come back to your waiting room … to relive the scene and the memories."
Bronwyn explained that their first dog together had been Cole, a rescued five-year-old Mastiff/Shepherd mix. Within 36 hours, Cole had gone from a dog suffering from a simple bout of vomiting and diarrhea to one in fatal kidney failure secondary to leptospirosis. "Keith and Cole had an amazing connection. At the end, I had to physically pull Keith away from him — it was so hard for him to let go."
It was eight months before they could consider getting another dog. This time, they turned to Petfinder.com. "Ben was six months old, in Vermont at a rescue facility. Keith picked him up — yes, I worried that Keith might be a soft touch, prone to falling for a big dog with a black mask and sad, expressive eyes, but it felt like the right time."
"And when did you start to notice Ben's 'Marilyn Monroe' wiggle?" I asked, referring to the movie Some Like It Hot and Ben's fine impression of Monroe's exaggerated hip sway as he walked away from me.
Bronwyn smiled. "At first, Ben seemed afraid and clumsy, a nervous scaredy-cat. He didn't want to go up stairs or jump in the back of our truck. Keith and I have been online and there's some frightening stuff out there about puppies and hips. I'm not sure how we'll cope if we have to go from one heartbreak to another."
I examined Ben, and he was everything he should be: clumsy and goofy and adorable. But when he walked, the balls of his bony hips jostled too far up and down in their shallow sockets. His hocks resembled a cow's, his feet turned way out to the side and he threw most of his weight forward onto his front legs. I could feel some abnormal joint thickening around both of his knees, and he was slightly lame on his right front leg as well. Where to begin? So much could be going wrong, so many ways for Bronwyn and Keith to be overwhelmed.
I ordered X-rays, and they confirmed the hip dysplasia we both suspected. As we stood together in front of the blackand- white image, Bronwyn said, "Do I need to be emotionally prepared for how long I can have this love affair with my dog?"
Good question, I thought, but in this instance, it was an easy one to answer.
"No. No, you don't," I said. "Sure, Ben has some significant orthopedic problems, but nothing we can't manage. And I'm not talking about some temporary or gratuitous fix just to keep him around. Right now, he's happy, loves to play with other dogs and so what if he looks a little clumsy on his back end? If he gets sore, I can give you something to make him more comfortable, and if things change, we'll rethink the plan."
Bronwyn's eyes filled with relief.
"So, you can fix our orthopedic lemon?" she said.
I shook my head. "Orthopedic challenge," I corrected. As I led Bronwyn and Ben back to the reception area, Bronwyn thanked me and said, "Like I told Keith, what else are we going to do? We're already in love!"

Exhibit by Aberson
Sky Mates
Night Owls
Max and Bennett
Warren and Walker
Asha and Adam
Exhibit by Aberson is pleased to present a selection of new work by KOLLABS.
KOLLABS is collaboration between Miami-based artist, Luis Garcia-Nerey and Atlanta-based artist, Anke Schofield.
"Animals are more like us than we think they are," says Schofield of the artists' fresh perspective of our natural world counterparts. Exploring the mysteries of ecology and investigating the possibilities within the animal realm are central subjects for this artistic duo.
Garcia-Nerey and Schofield were both interested in making art from a very young age. While living in a warehouse space in Atlanta, they became fast friends and collaborated in a two-person show. Now, twenty-years later and over 600 miles apart, they continue to push each other and combine their talents to make this body of work together as KOLLABS.
Pre-planning the pieces and then traveling between Miami and Atlanta at least once a month, the artists' meticulous technique and attention-to-detail is evident within their layered paintings. Their separate travel experiences, personal work and experimentation with an array of media inspire Garcia-Nerey and Schofield to produce work of impeccable craftsmanship and imagination.
"We have been very interested in the ideas of travel and bringing nature's animals into modern day settings for most of our recent work." explains Garcia-Nerey. He and Schofield invite the viewer to think differently about the animal world through their playful and energetic mixed-media pieces.

Low-choline chicken dish...
Hi folks, I hope you all doing great. Chicken dishes are my favorite even though I am suffering from TMAU. I am following a strict diet but I prepare chicken dishes quite often. I always make sure to have low choline content food. I'm here with an interesting recipe. Try it out.
1) Preheat oven to 475F. Marinate the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
2) Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over a high flame and heat the chicken for about 2 minutes.
3) Occasionally rearrange the chicken thighs and rotate pan to evenly distribute heat.
4) Move the skillet to oven and continue cooking until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
5) Transfer the meat to a plate and garnish it with some quality spices and herbs to taste.
You could also try it using your favorite sauces.
Have a healthy diet to maintain your body and low choline food recipes are most welcome.

A Brief History of (What You Think Is) Presidents' Day
The first thing to know: it's not officially called Presidents' Day

To set the record straight, today isn't actually Presidents' Day. It is still known as Washington's Birthday, according to the federal government and section 6103(a) of title 5 of the U.S. Code.
Give George Washington the credit he's due, since this whole holiday thing started in 1796 when people began celebrating him during his final year as President. But even then, his Feb. 22 birthday wasn't a clear-cut date. At that time, there was still a bit of confusion over the change in calendar systems, especially considering Washington's birthday dated back to 1732. For those still using the old-school Julian-style calendar, which was in use in England until 1752, Washington's birthday was Feb. 11. The Gregorian calendar, which took over for the Julian style, however, had his birthday as Feb. 22. That led to some confusion in the 1700s.
But our forefathers worked through their differences and landed on honoring Washington annually on Feb. 22, often with galas in Washington, D.C., and the tried and true U.S. pastime of drinking. The tradition of celebrating Washington continued for the next 90 or so years, and Congress made the holiday a law, giving Washington the first federal holiday to honor a person when they made it official in 1880….READ MORE
The use of Presidents' Day as the name continued to grow in popularity, gaining widespread acceptance by the 1980s. Then, in 1999, due to Presidents' Day having taken over as the accepted name, a pair of bills tried to force the official use of Washington's Birthday for the holiday (Ronald Reagan's birthday on Feb. 6 has added a fourth presidential birthday to the month of February). But there wasn't much support for that, in essence offering Presidents' Day a chance to celebrate not only Washington and Lincoln, but also all other presidents. Even Harrison.

Dinner Tonight: Lamb Chops with Crème Fraîche Beans Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I don't cook with lamb chops often because they're expensive, but sometimes nothing else will hit the spot. Maybe it's something to do with spring and all the usual clichés about lamb this time of year. All I know is I found myself with a couple of gorgeous, deep-red "lamb T-bones" as they're sometimes called, the loin chops with a T-bone through the middle. They need nothing more than a sear on the grill or a trip under the hot broiler, seasoned with plenty of salt and pepper and drizzled with olive oil.
Bean salads go particularly well with lamb, and I had a can in the cupboard. My go-to recipe is simple, just a few fresh herbs, fruity olive oil, and lemon juice, all heated through gently to preserve the flavor of the herbs and the character of the oil. This time I went to the bookshelf and pulled down Chez Panisse Vegetables, taking the secret to this recipe. It's crème fraîche: you add it to the beans and then raise the heat so that it reduces and clings to the beans, turning into a thick and creamy gloss. They are the creamiest beans I think I've ever eaten.
The herbs in this recipe make the dish, and it also doesn't matter which you use. I had some rosemary and basil in the fridge, so that's what ended up in this recipe.
Lamb Chops with Crème Fraîche Beans
Adapted from Chez Panisse Vegetables.
About the author: Blake Royer founded The Paupered Chef with Nick Kindelsperger, where he writes about food and occasional travels. After a year in Estonia, he's now living in Chicago.
- 1 to 2 lamb chops, depending on size
- Salt and pepper
- 1 can white or red beans, such as borlotti or cannelini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 6 to 8 basil leaves, chopped
Rub the lamb chops with plenty of salt, pepper, and olive oil. Turn on a broiler, grill, or heat up a grill pan. Once it is very hot, grill the lamb chops until desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
In the meantime, drain and rinse the beans and add them to a skillet with the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and a few tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are soft. Add the crème fraîche and turn the heat to high. Cook until the beans are coated and creamy, then stir in the basil off the heat, reserving a little for garnish.
Serve the lamb chops on the beans and garnish with the reserved basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Clive Christian 1872 . That is Carrie Underwood 's favorite perfume. And, according to her cover story in the February issue of Allure magazine, that scent is her beauty ritual before any romantic night out. "I love getting dressed up, when everyone smells nice and I've got my best perfume on," she says. But Underwood reveals one thing that is not so pretty about her past beauty rituals: a perm. She calls that her worst beauty mistake. But I consider it more of a rite of passage in the transition from awkward to gorgeous. Other admissions Underwood makes in the magazine: She craves salty things and cheesy things sometimes and doesn't love pushups and lunges, but she does them anyway. And if she ever needed to have anything waxed, she'd never let husband Mike Fisher watch.

Celebrating Blessed Pope John Paul II
Celebrations have been planned in Rome and in Poland for next weekend, Oct. 22.
Oct. 22 celebrations are planned in Rome and in Poland.
Blessed Pope John Paul II's first feast day will be celebrated this coming Oct. 22 in Rome and Poland.
In Rome, Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica, will lead a procession to the St. John Lateran basilica, where he will celebrate Mass with Cardinal Agostino Vallini — the archpriest of the Lateran basilica and vicar of Rome.
The procession will begin at 5pm, with the memorial Mass taking place at 7pm, according to a spokesman for the Vicariate of Rome.
Earlier this year, the Vatican decreed that an Oct. 22 liturgical memorial be automatically inserted into the liturgical calendars of the Diocese of Rome and all the dioceses of John Paul's native Poland. It also decreed that other local churches and religious families may request permission to do the same.
For those churches where this liturgical memorial is observed, the Vatican said that a church may be named after John Paul II, but in other dioceses an indult must be granted by the Vatican.
Oct. 22 was chosen as the day to remember the late Pope because it is the anniversary of the liturgical inauguration of his papacy in 1978.
The Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, which published the decree, also provided the text of the Collect (opening prayer) to be used in the liturgical memorial.
The text of the prayer reads: "O God, who are rich in mercy and who willed that the Blessed John Paul II should preside as Pope over your universal Church, grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching, we may open our hearts to the saving grace of Christ, the sole redeemer of mankind, who lives and reigns."
Confining feast days to a local area is one of the most noticeable differences between being beatified and being canonized. However, once canonized, John Paul II's feast day is likely to remain the same.
Edward Pentin writes from Rome.

I've been following today's interviewee's blog for a couple of years now and have always loved her style & insight. Now, I'm happy to introduce to you Sarah Morgan!
Two years ago, Sarah Morgan quit her job and ran off with the circus. Literally. And as a web designer, business consultant, entrepreneur, blogger, aerial instructor and, yes, circus performer, she's spent the past couple of years encouraging and teaching others how to follow their own passions as boldly as she has—while wearing many hats.
Sarah's blog, xoSarah, is a showcase of both her aerial artistry and web design prowess, and through it, Sarah has established herself as an authority on solid web design and blogging how-to. She just recently published her second ebook, How to Double Your Blog Traffic in 90 Days (or Less!) and launched the Badass Babes Blog Club + E-Course for bloggers who want to amp up their own online spaces. When she's not dominating the interwebs, she's swinging from aerial silks as part of The Weird Sisters trio.
Welcome, Sarah!
Your talents are so varied! But let's start with joining the circus. How did you get into aerial arts, and when did you decide to make it a profession along with your fellow Weird Sisters?
I randomly signed up for an aerial class just over four years ago as something fun to do and trained for about two years before we began to perform. Over the next year we ended up booking a lot of shows and at the same time my design business had grown enough that I was able to make those my full-time occupations. Soon after I added teaching aerial to the list as well.
How do you discipline your body to stay fit for such a physically demanding job? Do you have a regular routine you abide by?
I teach six to eight classes a week, so just going to work keeps me in shape for aerial. Since I'm in the air so often it's more about injury prevention than building strength or flexibility. My routine is what we cover in class: cardio, abs, climbing, skill-building, stretching.
Describe the most interesting/random/weird event you've ever performed in.
We perform at a giant Halloween show every year called Theatre Bizarre. It's not weird at all to me, but the random person off the street might be totally shocked by what they find inside. Contortion, burlesque, suspension, fire spinning/eating, strange sideshow acts—there's really no way to describe it, it's something you have to experience. This past year we performed as super sexy bearded ladies and fit right in. Here's a video.
On top of all that you also have your own successful web design business. How do you juggle these two very different jobs?
Calendars! I make sure to schedule everything and have five calendars to keep track of each aspect of my life. (That sounds nuts now that I've written it down, haha.) I don't adhere to a super strict schedule for design work, which keeps me from feeling overwhelmed, but I know what needs to get done and when.
What are some of the biggest challenges that come with your professions? Do you ever experience self-doubt?
Personally, because I have two full-time jobs, it's making sure I schedule my life in a way that I have time to take care of myself. Today I had rehearsal for three hours, then I came home and worked, and then I go back to the studio to teach and rehearse for two hours tonight. I have enough work to put me in the air or in front of my computer 16 hours a day every single day, so I've gotten really good at saying no and taking on only what I can handle.
I generally don't feel self-doubt, which makes me sound like an over-confident jerk I'm sure. I suppose that if I'm going to do something I'm just going to do it, and worrying if I'm not good enough or going to fail isn't helpful. I'm aware of both possibilities, but I deal with it after the fact instead of letting it slow me down or stop me from what I want to accomplish.
What was it like making the leap to total self-employment? Are you happier on this new path?
I had gotten to the point of being so unhappy at my corporate job I was essentially a real-life version of the movie Office Space. When I decided I was going to leave about 9 months before my escape, I became super motivated and excited to work on my side hustle. I prepared enough in advance that when my last day at work arrived I didn't have any worries. It felt extremely freeing and I'm so so much happier working for myself.
If you could live by one mantra, what would it be?
"Whether you think you can or think you cant, you're right" – Henry Ford (there's that no self-doubt thing again!)
What are some of your favorite books? Favorite blogs?
I really loved Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek. It's about marketing your business by sharing why you do what you do instead of what you do. AKA "I'm passionate about helping creative businesses build online homes that allow them to share what they love" vs. "I'm a web designer who makes beautiful and functional websites." It really changed the way I market my business and my blog.
For bloggers I'm always inspired by Alexandra Franzen, Marie Forleo, The Middle Finger Project and Betty Means Business—lots of badass ladies talking about building powerful online empires.
Thanks, Sarah, for sharing your story! Have any question for Sarah, or just love what she has to say? Let her know in the comments!

Kardashian family signs 3-year deal with E! network
E! thinks there's even more to keep up with: The network confirmed Tuesday the Kardashian brood has signed a three-year deal with it.
The pact gives viewers three more seasons of the network's flagship "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," taking the show into Season 9. The deal covers the entire Kardashian litter, including those who don't boast the last name formally: Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian Odom, Rob Kardashian, Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner — and also extends the network first-look deals with the clan for unscripted ideas, concepts and projects.
The apple, it seems, doesn't fall too far from the money-making tree. News of the deal comes a day after Ryan Seacrest, whose production company backs "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," inked a deal with Fox to continue on as host of "American Idol." Seacrest has yet to finalize an agreement covering the three years "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" will remain on the air, but likely will as part of an upcoming agreement with E!'s parent company, NBCUniversal.
It's only logical that E! would aim to keep the celebrity family on its roster. "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has produced hit spinoffs for the network, including "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" and "Khloe and Lamar," which is currently airing. The most recent season of "Keeping Up With the Kardasians" averaged more than 3 million viewers — a far cry from the less than 1 million it garnered for its premiere when it launched in 2007.
The 18-episode seventh season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" premieres May 20.
'American Idol' isn't sending Ryan Seacrest home
Kim Kardashian to appear on 'Drop Dead Diva'
Did 'Khloe & Lamar' help kick Lamar Odom out of the game in Dallas?

The publisher of Call of Duty may want to explore "new digital business models" for its bestselling military shooter—perhaps as an MMO—but rumors of Modern Warfare 2 going pay-to-play appear to be premature.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling took to his massively followed Twitter account today, dispelling rumors that the hit PS3, Xbox 360 and PC game will start carrying its own fee to play online.
"For the record, nobody has to pay to play [Call of Duty] or [Modern Warfare 2] multiplayer, nor will they," Bowling wrote.
That tweet was quickly followed by one from the other big Call of Duty developer, with Treyarch's community manager Josh Olin noting that the forthcoming Black Ops won't carry a separate online multiplayer fee either.
"No, you will not have to 'Pay to Play' [Call of Duty: Black Ops] Multiplayer either," Olin wrote. "Rumor -> Squashed."
While those already released Call of Duty games appear to have gotten off subscriber fee-free, Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick has made clear his desire to capitalize on the online successes of the first-person shooter.
"We've heard that 60 per cent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," Kotick said in a recent Financial Times interview. "We don't really participate financially in that income stream. We would really like to be able to provide much more value to those millions of players playing on Live, but it's not our network."
For now, though, it appears Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Black Ops will require a one-time investment.

I think it would be good to have a thread that allows us to reveal a little about ourselves. Nothing particularly personal, but your thoughts about your Sudoku passion.

Retired. Engineer.
Well, I spent my career writing simulation codes and managing high performance computing requirements for (then) the world's largest corporation.
When Sudoku first appeared, I was intrigued. But, I wondered how complex this 9x9 puzzle really was. So, I spent a lot of time studying the mathematics and theory of Sudoku before I really got interested.
I was lucky to be around in the early days, when concepts like Unique Rectangles were first being explored. I wrote some tutorials that were pretty popular.
My other passion is genealogy, which is also what I call an "infinite jigsaw puzzle". Like Sudoku, it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Exercise for the mind, is my excuse for the hours spent.
I always solve with pencil and paper, though I do use software (Sudoku Susser) to check my posts and solutions.

I'm a retired accountant with nine years of computer (old mainframe) programing in between the accounting.
I'd never heard of the word "Sudoku" until I saw a puzzle in our local fish-wrapper in late 2005. I took to it immediately and joined here a couple of months later.
I'm strictly a pencil-and-paper solver and the only computer help I avail myself of is using Draw/Play sometimes to populate a grid.

Right on the first two atributes (still intrigued, though, why should sex or color have anything to do with my being here?)
and - giving the vague term "certain" some kind of operational value - yes I am fast approaching sixty (counting months now, no longer years).
Now for the Math/Prog part - that's kind of interesting.
When I started College I was a pure business major.
Then, after one year, I xx to "Applied Statistics" - still within the "Social and Economics Sciences" branch -
Because Computer Science was part of that curriculum, then.
I still pursued the "business" branch - specializing in Marketing and Production.
I learned several computer languages,
spent hundreds of hours in deserted computing centers at nighttime (that was the 70s and early 80s, remember),
but many more (tens of thousands of) hours talking to real people on the surface about what computers could do for them and showing them how IT (as it was called later on) could help them in their jobs.
The last 30 years I've spent mostly doing IT consulting and managing a software company.
How did I ever get involved with Sudoku?
... On a beach in Greece... (oh, yea, great beaches in Greece!)
... on a lazy afternoon - when most puzzles in our puzzle book had been solved ...
... I was really, REALLY bored and turned to that (percieved) non-challenge of filling in numbers from 1-9 into nine squares.
How hard can that be?
Oh, my, was I surprised !
Solving Sudokus actually DID need some brain activity!
There was logic involved...
...and some kind of "battle plan" how to go about it.
Hey! Great!
Then I found this forum at dailysudoku.com and met the contributors who shared their knowledge about logic, battle plans, tricks of the trade, ...
... what a great time!
But somehow, most of the excitement of those days seems gone.
We all know how to spot an "XY-wing", don't we?
For the last couple of years, I've become more and more interested in the question what makes Sudokus "good".
Why do we get more pleasure from solving a certain puzzle than we get from another puzzle, even if both proclaim to be "very hard" ?
Is "super hard" better than "plain" hard?, is VH+ better than VH?
My personal answer to these questions is:
I've gone back to the VH (w/o +) and the "Special" types (like diagonal, squiggly, and "compass") that need only "basics" but tend to challenge the human brain.
I like to sit down with a puzzle and a cup of tea (or coffee) and spend 15-45 minutes exercising my brain.
Not "achieving a result" (Hey, the result is 9 x (numbers 1-9) in 9 x 9 squares!)
You could read this as "How do we get the human 'user' back into the equation?". Who are these puzzles for, anyway?
I think I'll start a separate thread about what makes us like some Sudokus and dislike others ...

Project Highlights
Location: Topeka, Kansas
Industry: Higher Education
Products Used: Chillers,
Climate: Humid & Hot
Topic: Efficiency,
Washburn Tech (WT) is a nationally recognized innovator in career and technical education designed to enhance lives and strengthen the communities it serves. WT's Midwest Training Center (MTC) provides training in current and emerging climate and energy control technologies. Backed by a system of connected and stackable credentials, the center offers existing technicians, new students and displaced workers a multitude of programs in a variety of industry sectors including energy, transportation, and advanced manufacturing. MTC's goal is to provide the workforce with the training needed to enable regional business growth. The center also provides train-the-trainer opportunities to secondary and post-secondary instructors throughout the Midwest.
With forecasts indicating continued growth in the climate control industry, Washburn Tech was challenged to provide the advanced training needed to prepare its students for the growing and changing demands of the industry. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment in the training labs was outdated, with many of the pieces more than fifteen years old, often donated by area residents and supporting mechanical contractors. At the same time, the institute recognized the aging technical work force and the need for a state-of-the-art curriculum incorporating the latest technologies. WT sought to upgrade its HVAC program and labs to meet the needs of its students and the industry. School administrators knew that enhancing their program would require significant capital, a way to mitigate construction costs and a functional team, and like many educational institutions, budgets at WT were tight.
WT contacted Trane, an HVAC industry leader, for assistance with its curriculum and technology upgrade. Trane worked with WT to seek funds through various grant programs, providing data for their justification and helping to complete applications. WT was awarded grants from the Kansas State Energy Sector Partnership Training, the Jobs & Innovative Industry Skills Training and the Ingersoll Rand Foundation.
Mitigating construction costs using TCPN
WT used The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) to mitigate construction costs and to provide a faster, easier resolution to its lab upgrade. TCPN allows large and small government entities such as schools, colleges, cities, and non-profits to leverage their purchasing power to ensure they are getting a good value on products and services. All TCPN contracts are competitively bid and evaluated by a government entity and awarded to national vendors based on quality, proven performance, customer satisfaction and pricing. TCPN provided WT with a means to directly negotiate procurement, which greatly reduced change orders and construction costs.
Enhanced curriculum closes the skills gap
WT and Trane, along with the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), formed a strong public-private partnership to bridge the gap between education and industry workforce needs. The team sought to enhance the institute's HVAC program by elevating training to the level required by industry.
NC3, a network of education providers and corporations that validate new and emerging technology skills to advance workforce development, has served hundreds of thousands of students nationwide. Working hand-in-hand with WT and Trane, the organization supplied the substance to the WT curriculum, based on their history of developing, standardizing, and implementing sustainable certifications across the nation. To enhance its HVAC program, WT added instruction in building automation controls and functioning commercial HVAC systems, which were not previously part of the college's offering.
Advanced technologies upgrade training labs
Once the HVAC program's new direction was established, work began to update the institute's training labs in order to complete the transformation. WT administrators knew that in order to enable its students to meet the industry's emerging challenges, it was important to offer them the opportunity to gain experience with the latest technology.
Trane and WT worked together to select the lab equipment that would best fit their enhanced curriculum and prepare the workforce of tomorrow. Trane replaced the aging equipment with advanced, high-efficiency HVAC systems, including rooftop units, furnaces, and a variable-air-volume system with a simulated boiler and chiller loop, along with Trane Tracer Summit® building automation systems. The training pieces, provided by Trane pro bono, included both traditional wired equipment, as well as advanced wireless technologies, creating a technically advanced HVAC Center of Excellence.
Washburn Tech, Trane and NC3 are working in partnership to better prepare the workforce of tomorrow. The functional collaboration of this team achieved their common goal of enhancing career and technical training by creating the Midwest Training Center, complete with advanced HVAC classrooms and working labs, to improve desired outcomes for the students. A rigorous curriculum, combined with updated training labs featuring the newest equipment and advanced technologies, are ensuring that graduates possess the skills, training and validation required by the industry.
About Washburn Tech
The new Midwest Training Center includes a state-of-the-art controls lab to support WT's enhanced curriculum and focus on climate and energy control technologies.

SANTA CRUZ — A 50-year-old man convicted more than 20 years ago of sexually assaulting three women will be sent to a state mental hospital, a Santa Cruz County judge ruled this week.
Thomas August Towne was convicted of multiple charges in 1990 and was sentenced to 39 years in prison. During a hearing this week, it was determined there was sufficient cause to find Towne to be a sexually violent predator.
Under state law, prosecutors can seek civil confinement in a state mental hospital for convicted sex offenders determined to be sexually violent predators, a term meaning they have a diagnosed mental disorder that makes them at great risk of offending again. These proceedings typically begin about six months before an individual"s scheduled release date.
A probable cause hearing must be held to determine whether a convicted sex offender can be confined as such. This is largely predicated on doctors" evaluations, and would typically then go to trial for the final decision. Towne, however, waived his right to a trial and will be committed to a state mental hospital, prosecutors said this week.
In 1989, Towne, then a bouncer in Capitola, sexually assaulted at least two massage therapists he found through newspaper classified ads. One of the masseuses testified at trial that Towne held her at knifepoint and forced her to perform a sex act.
The other testified that he forced her to strip at knifepoint, but she was able to scream for help into the telephone, scaring him off. Another masseuse was listening on the line at the time because the victim had a funny feeling about the customer, according to court records.
Towne checked himself into the mental health unit at Dominican Hospital after those attacks, but was later released. He then attacked and raped a woman in broad daylight on Opal Cliffs Beach, according to records.
The case was featured in an episode of CBS" "48 Hours" focused on victims and their rights.

WASHINGTON, Oct., 25, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is proposing to amend regulations concerning the importation of plants and plant products by establishing the controlled import permit (CIP). The CIP would act as a single type of authorization for the importation of otherwise prohibited or restricted plant material for experimental, therapeutic or developmental purposes.
Current APHIS regulations contain provisions for the use of departmental permits and several other authorizations to allow the importation of these plant materials into the United States by researchers and scientists affiliated with USDA. The CIP would be used in place of departmental permits and other authorizations, and would consolidate and make consistent the conditions for obtaining authorization for the importation of otherwise prohibited or restricted plant materials. The CIP would also be required for the importation of plant materials for post-entry quarantine.
APHIS would issue the CIP based on consideration of the plant pest risks of the imported plant material and whether such risks can be mitigated sufficiently, as well as the intended use of the plant material and the plant pest risks associated with such use. The CIP would be available to all entities in the United States, including private scientific and academic laboratories and researchers, and commercial and other nongovernmental organizations.
The establishment of the CIP reflects APHIS' ongoing efforts to make its regulations uniform, transparent and easier to understand and implement. APHIS is committed to encouraging research and innovation benefitting U.S. agriculture, while ultimately preserving the health and safety of America's agriculture and natural resources.
This action is published in today's Oct. 25 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Dec. 27. You may submit comments by either of the following methods:
Supporting documents and any comments we receive on this docket may be viewed at www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2008-0055 or in our reading room, which is located in room 1141 of the USDA South Building, 14th St. and Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Maybe the most "famous" loss in Toronto Maple Leaf history....

Remember it like yesterday. We were listening to the first period on radio and could barely believe it. On any given day...ReplyDelete
It's a game you can't forget, that's for sure, ingy56. What I can't remember is when the national radio broadcast started in those days...ReplyDelete
In the really old days, the games (at least were I was, in southwestern Ontario) did not come on television until 9pm. By the time this particular game was played, the games came on at 8:30 on TV. But I know the CBC radio also broadcast the games, if I'm not mistaken. But was it at 8 when the game started, or 8:15? Maybe someone knows- and was it different in the Toronto area?Replies

I can't say I'm necessarily ashamed to admit this, since I was still a decade and a half from being born when it happened AND I would probably block something like this from my mind anyway, but I don't know if I've ever heard of this game before now. When I saw "most famous Leaf loss", my mind immediately went to Game 7 against the Kings in Toronto when Gretzky single-handedly sent my Leafs packing. It's all about perspective, I guess:)ReplyDelete
You bring up a great point, Michael, that anything can happen in the NHL when it comes to one team beating another. A shortened season means that a presumable favourite like the Capitals can struggle (with the struggles being pronounced in 48 games) and a team like the Leafs (so far) can ride strong goaltending to a 10-7 record thus far. And then there's the old adage that just getting to the playoffs means you have a chance. Just ask the 8th seed Kings from just last season. Here's hoping the Leafs get back on track tonight against the Sabres, although I hate facing a team the game after they fired their coach, especially one who was coaching as long as Lindy Ruff was. It would be interesting to see the win-loss record of all NHL teams combined over the years the game AFTER they fired their coach. Something tells me it's heavily in the win column. Let's hope the Leafs buck the trend tonight. GO Leafs GO!!!!
There's no question, Twisted Sittler, that for younger Leaf fans, the '93 game against the Kings was painfully memorable. It still is for me, too.ReplyDelete
That said, in the context of the time, that regular-season game during the 1963-'64 season was absolutely shocking, for all the reasons I tried to highlight above.
But it does lead precisely to what you raised in your post- anything can happen on any given night and to a certain extend, in any given season. No one thought the Habs would win it all in that odd '93 season, and with this season's compacted schedule, who knows what's going to evolve?
Just one of the many things that makes being a fan a lot of fun- most of the time. Thanks for visiting Twisted Sittler, though I guess you figured it would be a story about a very different game!Replies
- Twisted SittlerFebruary 21, 2013 at 10:36 AM
Ha ha! I certainly did, Michael! But don't get me wrong, I love reading about anything to do with the Leafs, especially when I'm not as educated about a topic as I should be! You've just made my Leaf knowledge a little better. Thanks, Michael! Keep em comin!Delete
Dad's friend got us a pair of tickets. I was a little kid and got real miserable if my team lost (was a Leafs and Hawks fans). So whenever the friend got tickets it was for a Bruins game so I , the spoiled brat, could go home happy. Ha! My Dad teased me about that game 'til the day he died. I held on to that ticket stub for years, go figure.ReplyDelete
Of course in spite of the wretched on-goings I insisted on staying until the end. In fact I was just delaying going home and having to put up with my uncle, the Bruins fan. Poor dad.
Thanks Michael, that one goes way back and reminds me of what a great father I had.
Besides the fact that I simply enjoy writing about old-time memories, Bmaximus, one of the reasons I think I do is because I'm always hoping, deep down, that a few people out there who happen to visit VLM will be touched in some way by what I'm writing about, because it triggers their own warm memories. It's can be about their Dad, a friend, or just a treasured experience of some sort. I'm glad this story brought back some of that for you- albeit a painful memory being in attendance at one of the worst losses in our history! Thanks for stopping by, Bmaximus.ReplyDelete
- Chuck DieselFebruary 21, 2013 at 6:50 PM
Michael - I came to Canada in 1989 so most of what you write about is before my time, however, it still gives me warm feelings to read it. You're a great writer and a great story teller. I think a book about the Leafs written by you would be a must-have. For me game 7 in 93 was not the worst Leafs loss in my lifetime. Mine is also a regular season game. I don't remember the date or the year, but we were up 5-0 on St Louis with about 15 mins left in the 3rd and we lost 6-5. I had to meet some friends that night so I turned off the game at the start of the 3rd. When I came home I was absolutely stunned while watching the highlights.ReplyDelete
It's funny that you mention the St. Louis game, Chuck D.. I was watching with one of our sons that night and, as you say, it was just rolling along. Heck, Curtis Joseph was in net. But you could just feel it turning once St. Louise scored a couple of goals. And I think we lost in OT, as I recall. Yikes. What a game.ReplyDelete
By the way, thank you for reading the story even though it was not a game that you were "around" for. I appreciate the kind words very much. That's nice to hear.

After Mondelez International, Pepperidge Farm, and Flowers Foods Inc. all voluntarily recalled products due to possible salmonella contamination from whey powder used in their products, the Food and Drug Adminstation has announced that the same supplier was the source of concern in all three cases. A public statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb explained that Associated Milk Producers Inc. supplied the possibly tainted whey powder that may have been used in 16 varieties of Ritz crackers, four kinds of Goldfish crackers, and Swiss rolls distributed under the Baker's Treat, Mrs. Freshley's, Market Square, and Great Value brands.
The agency's statement stressed that no illnesses had been reported and that the recalls were initiated "out of an abundance of caution." But the statement also indicates that the agency is working to identify other manufacturers who may have received suspect whey powder from Associated Milk Producers. "As there are likely other food products made by other manufacturers that also use this common ingredient, there may be other recalls initiated in the coming days," the statement reads.
The FDA commissioner stated that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is working with Pinnacle Foods Inc. on a health alert for Hungry Man products that may also contain whey powder tainted with salmonella.
"Our staff is actively engaged in this investigation and we take this very seriously. We know that these are products that are widely eaten by consumers, including children. That's, in part, why we are taking steps to intervene early on this potential risk, and why we will be communicating regularly with the public to provide information and updates on this issue."
The Daily Meal has contacted Associated Milk Producers Inc. for a comment on the matter.
The best way to avoid contamination is to throw out any products that are subject to a recall or return them to their point of purchase. If you had stored these products in a seperate container, wash them thoroughly with hot water and antibacterial soap.
Salmonella poisoning can cause diarrhea, fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Most people recover in four to seven days without medical treatment, but young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may experience more severe reactions that could result in death. Salmonella is just one of the seven ways that a restaurant can make you sick.

Hello! I've got a question that's been bugging me for about a decade at this point -
What is the car on the TMS cover? Was it supposed to be in the game but got cancelled, or is it some third party car that made it to the cover for whatever reason?
p.s. Sorry if this has been answered before, I'm new here.
This is what I'm talking about:
